Tadokorosan is a nice little story and it excels in art and especially romance. Ill summarize it without spoiling much. Art this parts gonna have lots of pictures If youre looking to pick up this obscure pixiv manga theres an 80 chance its because of the cover image: 240https://s4.anilist.co/file/anilistcdn/media/manga/cover/large/nx106890bitYeoUpAXqu.jpg Thats the first indicator of whether you might like this manga. Its a pretty aesthetic style of art and if thats what youre looking for you cant get much better than this: its an aesthetic manga about aesthetic manga. Its full of blush marks heart eyes badumps and the like. Alot of this is shown through the art: 270https://files.catbox.moe/vmbseo.png This manga usually keeps to a simple pretty style: 270https://files.catbox.moe/7yh2c3.png but it can be incredibly detailed when it wants to: 270https://files.catbox.moe/ulr5lx.png It all depends on the kind of scene. Cast Now onto our main characters: Tadokoro Kagekohttps://anilist.co/character/136936/KagekoTadokoro Inkosensei and the Shadow Child is a bullied emo girl with an emo style and alot to her personality. She is a passionate aspiring manga artist with a hardboiled drawing style. She absolutely adores a girl in her class Nikaidou and secretly draws her in school. 250https://files.catbox.moe/jh78q9.png Nikaidou Sakurakohttps://anilist.co/character/136937/SakurakoNikaidou the Blossom Child on the other hand is practically an idol with everyone wanting her attention.. yet the twist is she secretly adores Tadokoro too. Shes the embodiment of strong and graceful in this manga almost Valkyrielike coming to save her love whenever she needs help. Nikaidou. is. lewd. By nature. Shes always thinking of some spicy thing or another but she fights against it for Tadokoros sake and does a very good job putting her own desires to the side. She treats Tadokoro and even her mangas with deep respect. Tadokoro on the other hand while equally kind is more innocent but doesnt really mind Nikaidous spiciness. In the end they are still just young and are learning about love and sex: both open to anything. There are also some cool side characters notably Kirigayasan Tadokoros mom who has a very interesting design Ranbara Rui honestly the chillest and most fun character in the story And all of the characters get development. Their quirks and all stay but they improve on their flaws and become better. 290https://files.catbox.moe/ydxh27.png Incredible Romance The romance is the highlight of this manga. Even in the simplest things this manga perfectly captures the feeling of gradual romance way more than I expected. A simple handholding or walking together or sharing a cup or the ehehehs theres alot or even cuddling teasing and saying nyah in the last chapter.. 220https://files.catbox.moe/0ot57a.jpg Of course it goes further than that: it is sexual. There are plenty of scenes full of characters fullon simping there are intimate scenes and there are a few very sexual scenes especially at the end. But the sex isnt even the focus of those scenes.. its about the endless spiral of stronger and stronger adoration of each other. Somewhat sexual example here nsfw It does get a little more than that but I think those panels showcase the manga better. Flaws The main flaw is how all the male characters are portrayed. I get that its just a yuri but it couldve at least not had a male cast ..bc whenever you see a male in this you know they are going to act disgusting as if theyre a manhwa bully. Some of the girls act like that too but at least they change right after and become relevant supporting characters for the rest of the story.. I chose one of the milder panels.. 220https://files.catbox.moe/tsbj3m.png The conflict is also weak as everything works out in our main characters favor always and the hints of conflict plots are never actually used but thats okay because the character development is still there. It wouldve also been nice if at the end they had shown that they could have love without sex at least right after the arc that literally ended with them resolving to. But oh well its a sexualthemed manga anyway. And finally Nikaidou making a strong graceful save gets repetitive.. making Tadokoro the more interesting of the two. Conclusion So yeah.. those flaws are the only thing stopping me from giving it a much much higher score. The chapters are short and hit hard so you can read it at whatever pace you like. Some chapters create ministories and some are episodic. 400https://files.catbox.moe/b8n25a.png If you like yuri and youre looking for romance you might like this one. Theres also something of a sequelhttps://anilist.co/manga/157821/InkoSensei/ in progress but theres not much so far.
